Experts weren’t the bottleneck on expert systems it was the systems weren’t particularly adaptive, were too rigid, weren’t able to make abductive conclusions, and the user interfaces were way too difficult in situ. LLMs actually tackle quite a lot of these issues FWIW but I wouldn’t look at them as a replacement for expert systems. Instead they’re probably what will make them useful by providing a natural human interface and a way of providing an abductive “reasoning” ability ontop of traditional expert systems.
